CVS has no API, that was always one of its biggest drawbacks. Eclipse
basically wrote a CVS client from scratch by reverse engineering. This is
why it used to wreak havoc if you used a different CVS client on the same
workspace project. It may still for all I know. It is also why Eclipse
is susceptible to breakage when new CVS server versions are released.

The JavaHL code basically exposes the same things you can do with the
command line. There is nothing that lets you go off into your own little
space and start manipulating files.

I am not sure what you are referring to here. The svn status command
already provides what we need, at least as of Subversion 1.3. The
question here was about Update. Basically, wanting us to have it skip
certain files. The only way we could do that would be to provide the
update command with the specific set of files to update, and then not
include files that were conflicted. Except for the last part, this is how
the code used to work and it was terrible. It was a lot slower, but more
importantly since only the files are specified, the folders are never
updated which causes problems later if you have a need to commit a folder
change of any kind.
